Blog Philosophy

The main point of this blog is to provide a one-stop location for fans of the Minnesota Wild to follow their prospects. Of particular note are the embedded statistics for each of the players provided by hockeydb.com or eliteprospects.com. Indeed, the website was first put together so the author could more easily follow prospects that had not yet made the MN Wild roster! Hockeydb.com and eliteprospects.com do not have all of the prospects and their statistics on one page. Other features will be provided on the blog in the future and will likely include statistics of players who are on the Iowa Wild of the AHL or the Orlando Sun Bears of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) or the Quad City Mallards of the Central Hockey League (CHL).

Occasional blog entries will also be present on a variety of topics that move beyond prospects, but are certainly limited to hockey. Blog entries aren't always comprehensive and may certainly omit some points/analysis for brevity.

The author doesn't pretend to be an expert nor have the time or ability to watch every Canadian Hockey League, American Hockey League, East Coast Hockey League, etc, game. The author does, however, certainly feel that he knows quite a bit about hockey. Much of his commentary is as a result of reading a lot of news articles from mainstream media such as tsn.ca, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, etc... The author does NOT merely repeat what other blogs or others in hockey forums write as he has noticed a lot of moronic opinions out there... The author's views and predictions will sometimes differ than major media reports such as Michael Russo, but he does not have access to professional scouts, players or management officials to make more informed predictions some matters.

Comments -positive or negative, though always civil- on blog entries, or other features are welcome and encouraged.

MN Wild prospects twitter accounts...

These are the known twitter handles of Minnesota Wild prospects.  Many are rarely used.  I suspect, as is the case for me given I am a teacher, they have other, more active twitter handles that they share with genuine friends and colleagues.  Players who have been traded or that Minnesota has elected to not sign to an entry level contract have their names crossed out.  The list is arranged by draft year, though other free agents who are prospects are included in the year in which they were first signed.  Those players who made it to the NHL roster will still be listed here according to their draft or free agent signing year.
